For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of orange zest along with the sugar. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can press the cooked cranberries through a fine-mesh sieve after removing the spice sachet. The cranberry sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Experiment with different sweeteners like maple syrup or honey for a unique twist.
